AdaptTable for Chakra

Nested tables in Chakra

Open a row and the panel holds another Chakra table — the same component, not a hand-built list. Each person has recent orders; the inner table has its own columns and row keys.

nestedTable() mounts the kit's DataTable with defaults that keep the two tables from fighting over the URL. Rows with no nested table can still use rowDetail().

The expand chevron and both tables are Chakra.

The chevron is a Chakra IconButton; the inner table is another Chakra DataTable, so the nested orders are Chakra Table rows rather than a stack in a detail slot.

The code

import { DataTable } from "@adapttable/chakra";
import { nestedTable } from "@adapttable/chakra/nested-table";

export function People({ rows, columns, orderColumns }) {
  return (
    <DataTable
      data={rows}
      columns={columns}
      rowKey={(row) => row.id}
      features={[
        nestedTable((row: Person) => ({
          label: `Orders for ${row.name}`,
          table: (defaults) => (
            <DataTable
              {...defaults}
              data={row.orders}
              columns={orderColumns}
              rowKey={(order) => order.id}
            />
          ),
        })),
      ]}
    />
  );
}
